  • Where can I find out if background checks from either government entities or private companies provide certified public records?
    Government entities provide certified records of birth, death, marriage, and, in some cases, even divorces, usually from the health department. As for criminal or background checks of past offenses, it depends on where you request them. The first place to look is the state police department, where fingerprint-based searches are often conducted. The Washington State Police department performs this type of search. Some states offer a certification letter stating that the history of criminal records is clear. The purpose is the critical factor. If you are applying for a passport and need a certified birth certificate, the state's department of health issues them and has information about their credentials. When used for a government job or a position that requires clearances, the state police will have a section for official background searches.
